Help with Unemployment

During these difficult economic times, I know that many people are battling unemployment. My office is here to help.  We can work with you and your unemployment benefits provider to help in this challenging time.

For example, we may be able to assist you if you:

  • Need to find information about filing a claim
  • Want to check the status of a claim
  • Need assistance in the appeals process
  • Have questions about extended benefits programs
  • Need to know if you are eligible for unemployment


If you require additional assistance with the Unemployment, my office may be able to help. Please contact Bill in my Topeka office at (785) 234-LYNN (5966) or email him at bill.roe@mail.house.gov
